Proposal: Schedule, The Final Classdown
Fails 0-5. — Quirck
Adminned at 27 Sep 2012 08:22:12 UTC
Enact a new rule called “Classes” with the following text:
A Class is a named list of Tasks possibly having Punishments attached. Existing Classes are listed at wiki page [[Class List]], each Class occupying its own section bearing the Name of the Class.
A Class shall have a Name that is different from all other Class’ names and doesn’t contain non-alphanumeric characters.
A Class may specify requirements for its storing, clearing, or Performing.
A Class may have up to 3 Tasks. Each Task specifies actions that are to be taken upon Performing the Task.
A Task may have a Punishment attached to it describing actions that occur in case of the Task not being Performed.
Tasks and Punishments may not directly:
* modify the amount of Students’ Projects;
* allow Students to achieve victory.A Class can be Performed. When a Student Performs a Class, they should Perform every Task in the Class by carrying out the actions specified in the Task. A Student Performing a Class is referred to as the Learner in the Class’ text.
Create a Wiki page “Class List” unless it already exists, and blank it.
Ok. This is it. The finished product. No Self-killing. Coming to you in 3 easy steps. Step 1: Classes.

Bucky:
It seems like the appropriate place to store classes is the Ruleset.

Slightly worried about “occur in case of the Task not being Performed” since most of the time tasks are not being performed.
Tee:
@Bucky, I was thinking wiki because I wanted Class to be dynamic. Obviously there would have to be regulations surrounding it, but the Ruleset seems too firm. IMO.
Do I need to vote? Just in case:

Tee, “if the author of a Votable Matter has not used a valid voting icon in a comment to the post, then the author’s Vote is FOR”
Kevan:
The problem is that Class List isn’t gamestate - the ruleset doesn’t “regulate the alteration” of it - so anyone can edit it as soon as it exists. Tasks don’t let you do anything you couldn’t do anyway, but it’s trivial to make “win the game” as a Punishment.
(“Tasks and Punishments may not directly [...] allow Students to achieve victory.” is, I’m afraid, ineffective, as a Punishment could simply repeal that clause before letting someone win.)
Bucky:
Josh:
Kevan’s right. CoV
It’s simple enough to fix - change “Existing Classes are listed at wiki page” to “New Classes are added to wiki page” - but by the current wording this proposal doesn’t set out any means by which the wiki page can be changed, and therefore isn’t regulating alteration. It’s a big enough hole that it’s worth patching before this passes.

What does CoV stands for? (and why such a rucurring term isn’t in the Glossary?)
IceFromHell:
(Actually, not reaching Quorum, as I counted Kevan twice.)
Josh:
Change of Vote. It’s on the oft-ignored BlogNomic Jargon page.
